Shamie Royston. I was raised in Denver, Colorado....

About
Some say I am a composer, some say I am a musician, others say I am a teacher. Well I am all of those and more. I was raised in Denver, Colorado and now I currently live in New Jersey with my family. I have performed with many great musicians from all around.
I have recently written some compositions on Tia Fuller's CD called "Pillar of Strength" and on her upcoming CD which will be released in February 2007 called "Healing Space." I have also recorded a CD called "Eternal Journey" (by Fuller Sound, which is my family) and a few other recordings. Now I am currently living in the East Coast and spreading my wings as a musician. I love music and everything about it, and would hope that God would give me the chance to use my talent where ever I go.
